The memory of a late friend has kept Ozzy Osbourne from boozing — the pal dropped dead at the pub while downing his last pint of beer.

The Paranoid rocker has battled alcoholism and once feared he had cirrhosis, but it’s the thought of one tragic mate who keeps Osbourne sober these days.

In his medical advice column for Rolling Stone magazine, he writes, “I’ll never forget what happened to this guy, Mickey, I used to know. He was told by his doctor to stop boozing, so he went straight to the pub for his last pint, took one sip, and dropped stone dead at the bar.”

Prince William and Kate Middleton have released details of their upcoming royal wedding, revealing they will lead a procession through the streets of London after the nuptials before enjoying a private reception hosted by The Queen.

The prince proposed to his fiance during a holiday in Kenya in October and they are set to wed at the U.K. capital’s Westminster Abbey on April 29.

A statement, released by Clarence House via Twitter.com, has now confirmed the couple’s itinerary for the big day.

Following a morning ceremony at the abbey, the couple will be driven in a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace, where British monarch Queen Elizabeth II — the prince’s grandmother — will host a reception. William’s father, Charles, Prince of Wales, will then treat guests to a private dinner and dancing at the palace.

The statement, released over a series of posts, reads, “Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton have made more decisions on their upcoming wedding. Miss Middleton will travel to Westminster Abbey by car. The route will include The Mall, Horse Guards Parade, Whitehall and Parliament Square. The wedding service will begin at 11 a.m. The Archbishop of Canterbury will marry Prince William and Miss Middleton, and the Bishop of London will give the address. The Dean of Westminster will conduct the service.

“The couple, now married, will return along a Processional Route in a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace. On arrival at the Palace, friends and family will gather for a private reception, hosted by The Queen.

“The Prince of Wales will host a private dinner, followed by dancing, at Buckingham Palace in the evening, for close friends and family.”

Sean Penn has described his recent divorce from Robin Wright as expensive and painful, admitting he is disappointed not to be able to raise his teenage son in a “whole family.”

The actor and his wife of 13 years called time on their on-and-off marriage last year and their divorce was finalized in July.

The former couple is parents to a daughter, Dylan, 19, and a son, Hopper, 17, who still lives at home, and Penn admits he would have liked to have given his son a stable upbringing until he graduates high school.

He tells the Hollywood Reporter, “A … profound change in life for me personally was not being able to raise my son in a whole family through high school.”

Penn also reveals he lost half of his fortune in the divorce and although he would like to concentrate on his charity mission in Haiti, he has to get back to work.

He adds, “I got practical issues, like everybody. … I had just got taken for one half of everything I had in the divorce, so it’s not like I don’t have to work… This (Haiti) is where I’ll be when I’m not working, for the rest of my life.”

LeAnn Rimes has laughed off rumors she has boosted her assets with a boob job, calling the story “crazy.”

The singer sparked speculation she had gone under the knife for chest implants after she was spotted showing off a shapely figure while enjoying a post-Christmas holiday with fiance Eddie Cibrian in Mexico.

But Rimes is adamant she’s all natural, writing in a post on Twitter.com, “Love the crazy stories, they make for weekly amusement!”

She also made a joke about the implant story, by suggesting it was Cibrian who opted for breast enhancement surgery, adding, “The rumors are true … Eddie got chest implants … ok, there (sic) fine.”

Cash-strapped singer Toni Braxton is considering stripping off for a Playboy magazine shoot in a bid to boost her finances.

The “Unbreak My Heart” hit maker filed for bankruptcy in October and is said to be more than $10 million in debt.

She recently signed a deal to feature her family in a new reality TV show, and now she’s revealed she’s been offered a lucrative spread with Playboy Magazine.

In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, she writes, “New Year, New opportunities. So I have been considering taking up Playboy’s offer to feature me on their cover this year. What you think? … I would love to pose with Hugh Hefner though. He’s the sexiest guy I know over 30. … Of course it will be tastefully done. … Just a lil T and A. They have asked me about 3 times before.”

Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon no longer has the iconic suit he wore in the promo for the band’s hit “Rio” — a mystery thief stole it.

The group famously danced on board a yacht in the Caribbean while wearing pastel-colored Antony Price suits in the video, which has become one of the most well known promos in MTV history.

But Le Bon has long since parted with his garish yellow two-piece — it was stolen during the 1990s.

He tells rock magazine Q, “I haven’t seen that suit for two decades. It got nicked (stolen). That was the ‘banana’ suit. I used to give all my suits names. Some men give their penis a name, I used to name my suits.”
